CEP Update
Thank you for taking the time to read our newsletter and for being a part of the CEP Toronto community. As we look ahead, we see that there is an excellent variety of events scheduled by a great ecosystem of organizations in and around the GTA. We would like to highlight some of the events we are exceptionally excited about in this newsletter. Furthermore, we will be hosting our first event of the year soon (May 30th) on a topic that impacts all of us; Sustainable Buildings. We’ve got a great set of speakers lined up, and cannot wait to hear their perspectives.Â
Besides being earth month, April is also a big month for fiscal and ESG reporting. Through this newsletter, I would like to thank all of you working on these important topics for your efforts. The transparency and equity of information that you all are working towards is a major enabler for a better and more sustainable future. Â
I hope you enjoy reading this newsletter, and hope to see you at our next event.

Cheers,
